Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Kalaram Temple in Nashik, which coincides with the Shiv Sena's previously announced plans. Raut claims that the temple visit was added to the PM's agenda following the Shiv Sena's announcement to visit on January 22, stated a report in ANI.

According to the report, Raut went on to say that the party aims to visit the Ram temple in Manipur and that if they make the announcement, Prime Minister Modi may follow suit. He expresses the expectation that the Prime Minister will address issues in Manipur during his prospective visit.
"Narendra Modi is in Nashik today. His initial plans didn't include a Kalaram Temple visit. But as Shivsena has announced, we will do Pooja in Kalaram Temple on January 2. So they planned PM's visit to Kalaram Temple," Raut told ANI.
He added, "It's like we have announced to go there so PM is going so If we go to a Ram Temple of Manipur then PM Modi will go there also."
He further mentioned, "We are planning to go to Ayodhya after January 22 and a Ram temple of Manipur also. We hope that after we visit Manipur, the PM will also visit Manipur and solve its problems too where he is not going despite so many issues awaiting his attention."
According to the ANI report, Raut questioned the delayed opening of Atal Setu, which PM Modi is scheduled to inaugurate, claiming that the bridge's inauguration has been pending for a long time. He claims that the PM's schedule overlaps with elections, which raises concerns about prioritising public investments.
"The inauguration of this bridge (Atal Setu) was pending for a long time. The Prime Minister does not get time until the elections come," Raut said.
"We had asked this question again and again. If the work is completed and the PM does not have time, then you open it for the public. But BJP has a role when the PM does not have time, no scheme is for the people," he told ANI.
During his visit to Maharashtra, PM Modi will inaugurate the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Sewri-Nhava Sheva Atal Setu and attend a variety of activities.
